[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh dude, I just installed greenify and watchdog because they are supposed to help with this. I also go SetCPU. it lets you make rules for conditions on how much CPU speed you can allocate. For example, I want maps and navigation and phone to have full power, in my case that is 1- 1.2Ghz. When screen is blacked, I cut it down to 300-800Mhz to save battery. What is cool is the chart that shows how much time the CPU spends in each frequency range. 3/4 of the time it sits at 800Mhz.

Yes of course I am rooted. Best way to get free hotspot out of Verizon instead of paying $20/mo whether you use it or not. :good:

Greenify looks cool as hell and it gives you an app list but how do you use it? Let's take Twitter for example. I rarely if ever use it. Shows up as Scheduled Running (Since last startup). For Twitter to be useful, it has to run all the time to accept incoming tweets. Because I don't give a dam about Twitter but want to keep it around, how does Greenify make that baby hibernate? What do I have to do to make this happen? You can tap to hightlight and there is a check and some sort of camera looking icon on top of screen, what do you do to shut this puppy down? I have games that never quit, want them OFF when not in use, Facebook runs constantly but would be nice to make sure it is not a memory or CPU hog. Can u give some hints, tips, or instructions on how to use Greenify? (Maybe I can Google this.)

Oh I get it dude! I clicked Twitter and the camera looking icon and it disappeared from the Shows up as Scheduled Running (Since last startup) list. I had to click "More Apps" to find it way down in the list. This time I clicked it and hit the check and it is now hibernating until I want to use it. This is AWESOME dude, you got my thanks for this tip. I am going to dig deeper into this now. Thanks!

:cool:

Edit: There is such an awesome list in Greenify that this is awesome. I have been using task killers but the dammed task comes right back after killed so this is better, hibernate that stuff. So cool! Okay, so I want to test this out and make sure it really does not destroy anything important. I hibernated RoboForm (Awesome password manager that syncs with my other PCs) and it is NOT running anymore. Yet, when tapped, it goes right to work immediately. I can sync it anytime I feel the need but since it is not running yet still works just fine, this really is one awesome app! Hmmm, I just checked APPS and Roboform is running, but I did just use it. I checked Greenify again to see if it is still hibernated, and it is now listed as "Pending". I clicked the little "i" icon for more information and it tells me that Roboform is running for a short time but will hibernate again when the screen times out. Le's try it and see. Letting screen black out, giving it time to pass the 5 second grace period, and will check hibernation status of Roboform again.

Hmmm, I waited about 3-5 minuted and Roboform was still pending hibernation. There really are not settings I can find in Greenify to shorten the pending hibernation time. Maybe a pay version but I cannot find it. I can immediately put it back to sleep in Greenify, but there should be a setting for how long it should be pending. Once I am done with it, I rarely use it again immediately so would like this puppy to sleep right away. Facebok is another one that runs all over the phone. I want messenger active so I leave it alone. But to have the main app running constantly is ridiculous. This Greenify is a great start and many Editor's Choice awards, but without a settings menu, I can't give it 5 stars. Still great stuff, thanks again.

Edit 2: How to enable all the cool stuff in Greenify Donation Version menu

There is a "Donate Version" costs $2.99 with more features. This thing is worth 3 bucks, I just bought it and installed it. Oh, yeah, you get Experimental Features in the Donate Version but must install Xposed Framework to use it. It is free but must have rooted phone to install it. I just installed it, then have to open the installer and "install it to the phone". Reboot required. Then open the framwork installer again, click Modules, and put check mark into Greenify checkbox. Reboot again.

Yeah, you get some cool stuff in the pay version. I like it and think it is worth the 3 bucks. I like this, a boosted performance version, ability to wake up push message programs like Skype, Facebook Messenger, or anything like that. What the hell, buy the guy a cup of Joe for 3 bucks, it is worth it if you got the money. But the free version really is good enough, the extra stuff here is not essential but nice to have. Here is what you get:

Last thing, here is a cool tip for Titanium Backup users.

If you have more than one Android device, buy a pay app, and "want to try it out on another device without having to buy it again", make a backup in Titanium Backup, export the backup to something easy to access like Dropbox, open your other device, open dropbox, and restore the app and data. You get the pay version on the other device and can then "try before you buy". This works most of the time. It may not work on everything, but so far I have not found one yet where it does not work. ;)
